'round here
didn't have a camera by my side this time / hoping i would see the world with both my eyes / maybe i will tell you all about it / when i'm in the mood to lose my way with words
field notes from life lately:
- we don't have a TV but we do hulu it up from time to time. current guilty pleasures: so you think you can dance + project runway.
- and it needs to be said that we heart poirot. the character. the art deco. just everything.
- elinor has been rearranging and sorting and cleaning like a woman possessed.
- we have been eating a ton of zucchini. you know, because what else grows this time of year in AZ?
- digging needtobreathe + french bistro tunes + jazz + crowder + imagine dragons + JT
- oh, and i heard fancy {the original, non-spoof version} for the first time a few days ago and it is stuck in our heads. ben's too.
- really wanting the next season of sherlock to happen.
- we are talking tats. ben is totally getting another sometime. and it is so cool.
- summer has been all about taking elinor to the backyard and just hosing her down. watermelon juice calls for drastic measures.
- elinor is raw goat milk obsessed. hoping to get my hands on some camel milk sometime...just because.
- we are quasi-potty-training. you know, for kicks.
- making some car decisions and plans for the now and the future.
- elinor has started saying, "um" and it kills me.
- making lists and plans for our ten-year in paris.
- getting excited for the beach.
- elinor likes to eat papa's pizza sauce by the spoonful.
- also, elinor has started saying, "thank you" {tee-kee} after every. little. thing. and it melts my heart. gosh.
- plotting a backyard remodel.
- exploring gilbert.
- speaking of gilbert, i was pulled over for the first time and received my first ticket. and i was a disaster.
- consequently, i have an online date with driving school this weekend!
- family bear crawl time because elinor thinks it is hilarious.
- reading all kinds of good books.
- getting ready to juice myself silly with my new toy.
- connecting with some incredible folks in real life and instagramland.
- bought more moccs for elinor because, i have a problem.
- finally took the plunge and bought myself a heavy-duty, rolls royce yoga mat. it is about to get serious.
- planning some fun meet-ups with friends.
- praying a lot.
- being amused by elinor's dramatic high-step dance move that she pairs with an exaggerated, "ssssssstep!"
- eating fruit like it is my job.
- annoyed by our recent and unwelcome houseguest, mr. cricket who is definitely not as charming as jiminy.
- loving the long, warm nights. but hating the long, warm nights.
